Any idea if the MotS will be available for the Soliloquy release?

If it's still available at the tasting room I can't imagine they won't sell it that night.

I heard the batch was huge, so it may still be there. It's not exactly flying off the shelves at $24 a bottle.

They did post on FB over the weekend that their supply was getting low. I have a feeling the remainder of the botles will be gone very soon, if there is still any available that is.

Bummer. Won't be able to make the party on the Jan. 10th...

Yep, that is what I meant...the 8th.

The Rare Barrel was named one of the "50 Coolest New Businesses in America" by Business Insider: http://www.businessinsider.com/coolest-new-businesses-in-america-2014-12?op=1

Story about them is near the bottom (39 of 50) so I recommend Ctrl(Cmd)+F if you're only interested in what they have to say about The Rare Barrel.

Anyone going to the second session on Thursday have an extra ticket? I'm splitting membership with a buddy and going with him, but looking to get an extra ticket for my girlfriend. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Anybody willing to part with a few MotS? Happy to buy or trade for it.

If anyone wants to carpool from like Dublin or Castro Valley let me know. A few people I was gonna go with aren't gonna be able to make it and I didn't want to drive solo or BART it

Nice! Thankfully can still get growler fills, even though I did not re-up.

36oz fill

36oz? Wasn't the Founders Growler only 32oz?

As far as I know the Founders is a 32oz growler. Maybe they are a little bigger for Ambassadors, unless it was a typo on the site. It was a copy paste job.

 

[rainer1]

Has anyone picked up their Ambassador growler yet? Wondering if it's the same ceramic one as the Founders growler.

Is the Berliner going to be like their gose in that it doesn't taste like the advertised style at all, but more like their standard barrel aged sour?

 

[Aaronkv]

From Facebook:

"Arrows of Neon is a Berkliner weisse aged in oak barrels with lemon peels and lime peels. This lightly tart and quite crushable sour displays bright notes of citrus zest and clocks in at a sessionable 4.5% ABV.

Berkliner... did we misspell "Berliner"? Nope... the flavors derived in this sour are largely inspired by Berliner weisse, however it isn't a traditional Berliner weisse and we don't really brew to style here. Additionally, the name "Berliner" weisse is actually protected under the appellation d’origine contrôllée (AOC), and can technically only be called that if it's made in Berlin, Germany.

Our first Berkliner weisse goes on tap this weekend and is also available as the Ambassadors Fill!"

Just saw that, I guess that answers my question.

I understood it to be like last year, minus the handle.

We were supposed to get ceramic growlers last year? All they sent me was a glass 32oz growler...

Yes, we got ceramic growlers last year. Maybe yours broke or something...

The horizon lines on this photo annoy the **** outta me, but man that's a pretty photo. Beer makes me want to take up shooting again.
